Thus far there's only one route scheduled: Chappaquidic Island to the mainland. I'm assuming all the planes have floatation landing gear.

One can only imagine how terrible their low cost and absolutely no thrills airline will be. I avoid United at all costs, and I will especially avoid their new submarine service.

If they paint a bat on the sides of their planes, I'm not going anywhere near them... An ASCII bat on the tail would definitely be a bad sign....
To: graycamel
Imagine if they named the plane "Osama" Or "Al".

Ted's picture on the tail of a jet? Uh....I don't think so.... How about Ted's picture on the tail end of a horse?

You sure found a weird article to post. I expected it to be a satire.
What a bizarre name. No doubt it came straight from the boardroom courtesy of some pointy-haired boss and his fawning sycophants.
Are you doing OK in school?
Have you any plans to come up and visit us at Thanksgiving or Christmas?

I don't own any stock. I'm pore as can be.

I thought it was a joke, too, but it was on Foxnews. I assume it's legit. I don't know if I'll be up there. My car is not all that good. I'll have to think about it.

I guess there are some good Teds after all.

United Airlines (search), the world's second-largest airline, Wednesday confirmed it has named its fledgling low-cost carrier venture "Ted," as it prepares to launch the service from Denver early next year. But wait ... it gets *worse*.
Some of you may remember that US Airways and United tried to merge a couple of years ago, and eventually had to settle merely for code-sharing. On Wednesday, US Airways CEO David Siegel said that his airline is also considering the establishment of a low fare airline, and it has been given a working name of 'Bill'. [Yes, those of you retching in the back know where this is going ...]
Why did US Airways chose the name Bill? Siegel explained 'Bill, is expected as an extension of our alliance with United Airlines--Ted and Bill's excellent low-cost alliance'.
The sheer inanity of this leaves me breathless, *even* taking into account the fact that these are airline CEOs we are talking about.
